imputing income?

[NewDay]

My ex started working in October of this year after not working for years. The pandemic, their lazy ass and court being closed backed everything up.

they make $6000 a month.

So great! now I get a break on child support. Right?
2021: income of $18000 to base child support on for October - December.
2022: ?? how do I argue they should be paying on the full amount of their projected salary for 2022?

You ask for updated income info from the three most recent paystubs and you update.

Now, if they lose their job, you also update immediately as well.

There is a blurb in the guidelines that says if line 150 on your most recent income tax is not a true indicator of your income then you use another item like a pay stub. You can send them that info if they balk.
